hippy in reply to @andyp

Actually, there's a dropout kit so it can do 135x9 or 142x12 so I should be ok.

ATR dropout kit

Doesn't look like the cheaper AT can do that:

The Tripster is also way high... like another 20mm taller than my 4S which was already pretty tall.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Tho that does have a rather long wheelbase and slack headtube angle.

With the stem and bars like that, I think headtube angle would be the least of your handling worries
